APLAGUE OF SNAILS.
They are Eating Every Grown Thing
In Centre County.
Specfal dispatch 70 Me Melcs.

BELLEFoNTE, Pa, June 10.-The
entire lower portion of Centre county is
at present plagued by most extraOr.
binary visitation of snails or garden
slugs They come from their hiding
places in crevices, under board walks,
stones, etc., only at night, and they
cover the roads and walks by the mill
ions. In Penn's Valley aud Bloomfield
and the surrounding country they haye
eaten every grown thing in their path.
Some gardens have been entirely de-
stroyed. A letter from mPenn'sVa alley says
that mornings after warm nights walks
and roads are literally covered with the
slums these insects leave in their trails
and by bushels Of dead snails that have
been crushed by pedestrians and wa
gons, Lime. Paris green, salt and 9TH
er insect destroyers have been scattered
literally where the snails travel and
feed, but they have no effect on them.
The singular part of this plague is that
no insects of the kind were ever known
to be In the county before. Where they
came from or what influences have
brought them there 80 suddenly and in
such immense numbers ia a mystery no
ono has been able to solve.

What True Merit Will
DO

The unprecedented sale Boschee's German
Syrup within few years. has astonished
the word. 1t is without doubt the safest
and best remedy ever discovered for the
speedy and eflectual cures of Coughs, Colds
and the severest Lung troubles. 1t acts on
an entirely different principle from the us
ual prescriptions given by Physicians, as
it does not dry up Cough and leave the
disease still in the system, but on the con-
trary removes the cause of the trouble,
heals the part affected and leaves them in
purely healthy condition. A bottle kept
in the house for use when the diseasesmake
their appearance. will save doctors bills
and long spell of seriousillness. A trial
will convince you of these facts. II is pos

dealers in the land. Price, IS cts. large
